To grow up, you need passion.
U.S. Sassuolo Calcio firmly believes in the social function of sport and considers football to be a tool for training, education, and socialization for athletes who are interested in this sport.
Generazione S is an innovative, free, and social responsibility project dedicated to all young athletes, with the aim of promoting sporting and personal growth by sharing the values and methodologies of Sassuolo Calcio.
The project is aimed at all men’s and women’s sports clubs throughout Italy, offering free programs to share activities, events, and training courses.
We want to bring the culture of Sassuolo to smaller sports clubs, which need support, and to associations that share our Values.
We want to bring concrete and innovative educational projects where there is a lack and a need, because football and sport are the best vehicles for making today's young people the best men and women of tomorrow and for inspiring young people.
The project’s slogan, “To grow up, you need passion,” perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Generazione S: it is not just about football, but about a comprehensive educational program to accompany young people on a journey of personal growth even before their sporting development.
The “Charter of Values” is at the heart of the project, a document that represents all the moral and ethical features of Sassuolo Calcio and i used as a reference point for all activities and people involved in Generazione S.
